An oath of fealty is a common occurrence in the 'greater' Amarrian society. Oaths of fealty bind the Amarrian Faithful from freeman in an unbroken line through a succession of lords to an heir and through fealty sworn by that heir to the present sovereign of the Empire itself.
There are many oaths of fealty and with the longest recorded history of all races of relevance. In time the Amarrian oaths of fealty may tie tangled webs for individual man, leading to a need for reflection and seeking guidance on which oath holds precedence in a particular case.
Most common case law and arbitration places weight on the oldest oath to the heighest recognized authority. a Family oath to a heir of a house who ruled a millennia hence will most likely supercede personal oaths mere decades old. Some of our greatest works of literature focus on these tensions and how a man will struggle to uphold oaths owed in keeping with Faith and duty.
There however stands one authority on every oath we call on, to witness the oath and to measure to us in accordance to our fidelity to that oath. In each oath we may give during our lives we affirm our fealty to God and through that fealty are all others confirmed and upheld.
That is the basis why a holder may act in direct defiance of an oath, provided the person whom fealty is owed falls short on the oldest oath Amarrian Faithful have sworn. Our unquestioning and undivided fealty, in good conscience, to God.
This is the crux for justice in our social order, all freedoms of the freemen, privilidges of the clergy and duties of our nobility rest upon. Without unquestionable devotion and undivided loaylty to God all other oaths are as ash blown in the wind, fixed on air of this mortal coil subject to whim and fancy of those in power.
In sight of this reasoning I am forced scorn the seiren call of the realpolitik and to refrain from affixing fealty of [C0URT] to any House holding a seat in the privy council at this time.
New policies of House Murder.
1. House Murder may assist any and all organizations that request assistance in safeguarding any civilian populace from slavetaking on case by case consideration. Members are encouraged to confront and repel any illegal slaving taking place.
-This does not cover the Concord designated area of the militias conflict.
2. [C0URT] Restricts it's support of Imperial institutions to the de facto short term empyrean to corporation contracts as facilitated by CONCORD.
3. House Murder shall seek new ways to support all Faithful, regardless of race or residence.
-In sight of this [C0URT] is:
A) restarting it's program to provide Faithful in the Minmatar Republic with means and knowledge to better safeguard their liberties and freedoms within the legal framework of the Republic as recognized by Amarrian Empire.
B) Seeking contact with any churches within Minmatar Republic with the capacity to distribute food aid to refugees and freemen alike.
C) Withdrawing from militias conflict to avoid unnecessary complications due to the combat status with organizations that may seek assistance against illegal slavers.
4. In order to acquire resources to these programs C0URT will look into the possibility of contractual agreements of support in either as an entity or loans of personnel for capsuleer organizations.

There are churches in Minmatar space that haven't been put to the torch by violent Matari extremists like the ones who post here? Do tell more about what you are finding. With the appropriate precautions to keep them from being killed by the Republic, of course. |

Where two men convene to praise God, there stands a church for God. Not an exact quote but I trust my meaning is clear. |

The Starkmanir have established churches throughout the Republic and though sometimes marginalized for their monotheistic beliefs, their faith has thrived and their churches prospered.

Given COURT's history of executing freed slaves, what sort of welcome do you expect from the communities in the Republic that you will be working with? |

A leading question but perhaps it does merit a serious answer.
Given C0URTs history of executing slavers what kind of welcome do you think I should expect from the communities I will be working with?
Being, by Concord definition, a freed slave grants no immunities from law. They were not excecuted for being former slaves.
Just as the slavers C0URT has excecuted were not excecuted for being, by Concord definition, slavers.
They chose to commit crimes and were made to pay the price for those crimes. And since C0URT does not enslave, that price was their lives.
I could ofcourse appeal to the recent change in leadership but I shall leave such spin for others.
What do I expect? Smear campaing or two, wild rumours and inaccurate accusations. I expect most of the Faithful turning for us for aid to be those in the direst need for it. I expect bare minimum of threats from some capsuleers. I expect mistrust and paranoia.
I expect very little in welcome and less in wisdom to accept the aid freely offered. I look forward to proving some of that mistrust and paranoia to be mistakenly attributed and always I invite the locals to prove my expectations to be in error.

Putting to the torch can cost lives and/or collateral damage. Now, take those nasty seething Nationalist systems Traun and Barkrik (Metropolis) -ostensibly well within Republican borders- there were churches within each system until fairly recently (excluding Joint Harvesting-owned ones in-station) that were simply bought up by Matari "extremist" capsuleers, and then, these structures being their own private property, promptly bulldozed to rubble.
Cheap at the price and no fatalities. Not everything must be consumed by violence, you see. If anyone wants to kneel in churches, I'm sure they'll find exactly what they need in the Barvigrard constellation (the nearest constellation) and beyond.
Or kneel in JH forever, for all I care.

Incident report:
Yesterday C0URT received intelligence of a suspected Imperial Navy presence within CONCORD recognized highsecurity space of the Minmatar Republic. COURT was informed of suspicions that the facilities within this outpost were likely used to hold slaves and possibly to enslave local populace.
Today Capsuleer house Murder CEO Baron Crow Identified himself and his vessel DTS Relentless Fate advicing the suspected Navy unit that he had taken personal affront to their presence at the location, advicing members of the fleet he would give thirty seconds for all souls aboard to commit themselves to God before initiating hostilities.
Invoking judgement of God upon the contest of arms Mensha Khael Crow entered the battle with DTS Monolith of Hate piloted by Chell Charon as his bannerman. All navy ships present at the deadspace pockets were destroyed, surface scans appear to confirm the facilities to have been used for imprisonment of individuals and slave holding.
C0URT is currently holding a number of captured military personnel, should an Imperial institution launch an inquest into what failure has led Imperial naval assets to be misplaced in such a manner. Barring requests for renditioning of the held military personnel C0URT will, after twentyfour hours, hand them over to local authority as requested.
On request House Murder will provide details on facility location to any Minmatar capsuleer organization for possible rescue operations. On condition that any Amarrian freemen captured are to be rendered to House Murder.
With deepest sympathies to the brave and Faithful men and their families lost aboard the vessels.

So long story short:
You have unilaterally taken it upon yourself to enforce your own version of Imperial Law, and have fired upon vessels of the Empire, killing quite a few people. Judge, Jury, and Executioner!
My Imperial theology might be a little rusty but this means you reject the the Empress and the Privy Council?
I imagine this sort of thing not going over well with your former loyalist compatriots. They don't really like splitting hairs on this sort of thing; you fired on Imperial vessels and that will be the end of any religious debate.
Can we get a judges ruling from PIE on this? *smile*

Wait, you mean that you are asking PIE Inc to be the judge, jury, and executioner as well ? |

Well dear, there was once a time wherein an otherwise loyal Imperial renouncing his loyalty to all five Heirs and the Privy Council and destroying Imperial vessels, persons, and property would illicit some sort of response.

As I have indicated to Commander Shutaq I am accessible to the Faithful should they have anything on their mind they wish to discuss.Even these aspersions on my person, seemingly based on very little but lack of literary practice. |

I'm sure that when PIE Inc. need to take advice from apostate scumbags, you'll be the first person they contact.
